to night i broke down my tank. I removed all the plants and changed the gravel out. I now have a 3 inch layer of eco complete and moon sand 50/50 i used 80 lb of substrate. i treated the water with aqua plus and filled the tank with tap water.
My questions.
what do i need to do to get this tank stater right?
how should i treat the plants for the BGA that was over taking my tank?
I will be running a fluval 405 or 305 as a filter.
I have a coral life 65/55 x 4 light over the tank now, i only run two out of the four lights (110 watts). i was considering going back to my 2 40watt flora glow lamps (80 watts).
I will post a water test tomarrow.
I have read all the stickys and many threads for this fourm.
Plants
5 small melon swords
a lot of unknown cyrps.
i have no fish at this time.
i do have 5 aglae eating shrimp.
